2 Technology and Concepts for Joint Sealing Joint sealants make up only a small portion of the monetary value of a construction project and are often considered as an unimportant detail. Yet, joint sealants play the major role in keeping a building air and water tight and thus prevent damages with unforeseeable consequential costs. In order for a sealant to fulfil its function over the whole lifetime of a building or construction the selection of the right solution and the correct design taking into account all potential influences are key. In addition, joint sealants contribute significantly to energy-efficient, sustainable buIlding design and will thus become even more important in the near future. In this brochure Sika's solutions and concepts for joint sealing are described in detail.

3 Joint Sealing Solutions Introduction Joints and openings between construction ele- ments can be found in different parts of a con- struction, e. g. between precast concrete ele- ments in facades, around windows and doors, at the connection between floors and walls, in storage tanks etc. Joint sealants have to meet various require- ments depending on the function and location Contraction of building elements of the respective joint. The purpose of joint sealing generally is to: nPrevent passage of media (air, water, chemicals, smoke etc.) Structural movements nProvide thermal and sound insulation These movements are caused by settlements nEnhance the visual appearance of the whole of the structure, vibrations or other loads construction (wind etc.) and consequently deform the joint dimensions and hence may stress the sealing material significantly. Why Elastic Sealing? Structural movements often result in shear stress acting on the sealant. Building and civil engineering structures consist of individual elements which exhibit relative movements to each other. There are two kinds of such movements: Thermal movements Changes in temperature result in an expansion Shear loads or contraction of the building elements, i.e. joints become larger (extension) or smaller (compression) continuously. Thermal move- ments are considerably in case of big elements or when different materials are used (e. g. brick Advantages of elastic joint sealants wall and vinyl window frame). In comparison to rigid materials (e.g. cement or mortar) high-performance elastic joint sealants by Sika are able to accommodate thermal and structural movements without breaking or loosing the adhesion to the building elements. These sealants thus retain their original functionality throughout their whole life cycle and provide long-term tightness. Expansion of building elements

6 Key Application Advantages of Sika Sealing Solutions Application properties of sealants are very important mainly for two reasons. Firstly, they have a direct impact on costs and compliance with project time lines because the application rate, extra labour and other factors mainly depend on the sealant properties. Secondly, the easier and the more hassle-free the application of a sealant the lower is the risk for errors during the installation which might lead to failures on the long run. Excellent working properties have therefore always been a core element in the design of sealants within Sika. The combination of sometimes opposed application properties is the fine art of sealant development and requires a good knowledge of the on-site requirements and experience to translate these requirements into a final product. All Sika sealants are optimised for superior workability. 1. Low extrusion force 2.

Sika Primer-215 is a 1-component polyurethane based primer that improves long-term sealant adhesion to plastics, varnishes lacquers and even porous materials. A typical application where Sika Primer-215 would be used for substrate pre-treatment is perimeter sealing between vinyl or powder-coated aluminium window frames and brickwork.

26 On-site Application of Sealants Application Steps To create visually appealing and durable joints, you have to consider several points. Below is a description for the procedure valid for porous substrates such as precast concrete. In the case of non-porous substrates the surface preparation is usually different (please refer to Sikas pre-treatment chart for further details) but the other steps are identical. 1. Prepare the substrate: Grind the substrate with a wire brush or other equipment, and clean the dust and friable particles away. 2. Insert a fitting backer rod to the required depth. The width of the backing rods should be 20 30% larger than the joint width. If using a closed cell polyethylene backer rod pay attention when inserting the rod so that it is not damaged by a sharp tool like a screwdriver. It is generally better to use a blunt tool. 3. A pply primer to the bonding area. Use a masking tape if you need sharp and exact joint lines. 4. Fill the joint avoiding air entrapment. Re- move any material excess. 5. Press the sealant against the joint flanks to ensure good adhesion and smooth the joint with smoothing liquid for a perfect sealant surface. Remark: when using masking tape, remove it before skin formation of the sealant. 26 I 27
